pretre Posted June 27, 2016 Report Share Posted June 27, 2016 Atia on B&C Howdy Guys and Girls :) A white raven appeared today and brought me a message - winter is coming ... Warhammer 40k turns 30 years old next year. The new edition is due. The clock will be taken from 5 minutes to midnight to 1 minute to midnight with the return of the Daemonprimarchs - or will they return alone? This is the theme of the new setting - think along the lines of 13th Black Crusade - but this time, it's serious. They want to get the same excitement as the community had during the End Times - without actually going as far as Age of Sigmar did. Chaos fans - this is your hour. Stop beeing grudgy, there will be lots of love for all of you - renegades, former legions, daemon lovers. The lore already start to unfold, with the Shield of Baal and Warzone Fenris - so we are already within the action. As usual, this is a bit of an early talk, so stay cool and take it with a tiny bit of salt.

WestRider Posted June 27, 2016 Report Share Posted June 27, 2016 Excitement level depends on their ability to write Rules for these new Chaos things that don't suck. Given that this is coming from the same Dev team that thought Mutilators were great and ATSKNF+Chapter Tactics is only worth a single Point over CSM, I'm gonna have to hold off for a while on actually caring. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JMGraham Posted June 28, 2016 Report Share Posted June 28, 2016 ... I want to trust. But as wonderful as the End Times were for narrative play, the Age of Sigmar was godsdamned awful. However, there's always the hope that the fan-base will 9th Age 40k, which would make it all worth it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm halfway through his part and it gets surprisingly interesting. Good stuff to listen to during a paint session - although the sound quality could be better (it is an voip interview). Robbie MacNiven - Combat Phase podcast (spoiler warning) The WZF part starts at ~32:35 min. http://faeit212communitynews.blogspot. de/2016/06/ep-151-combat-phase-legacy-of-russ.html Can you give tl;dr version? * Mild spoiler warning * - His ebooks will be released as a novel later, they were written with that in mind and are set at the middle of the WZF story - He is not allowed to say exactly what but there is more than just stories released by BL coming - Midgardia, which - as we have known since the artist of that artwork pointed it out - is getting bombarded by the Dark Angels not Fenris and burned to the ground. It is not blown apart though. - The Changeling is so excellent at hiding, only Tzeentch knows his real form and has much respect for that ability. The Changeling had sneaked into a SW fortress earlier. The Inquisition is investigating. Maybe I missed it but he hasnt been detected in part 1-5 afaik - Known Characters will die (not the big ones) - He was able to write about a lot of Space Wolves characters, both recently introduced and those well known - Epic scale story, taking place on several planets, moons and space ports - More than 14 main characters, at least 12 SM chapters involved This is what Robbie MacNiven knows and/or allowed to say and/or his impressions regarding the game itself - do not quote him on that: - The storyline/conflict of the Daemonic Incursion is going to expand to other areas and is not limited to the Fenris system - My interpretation: Sounds like more Warzone campaigns for 40k in other areas - No AoS-ification - No Destruction of the 40k universe to start anew Story development: - The characters (like Azrael, Stern etc) have individual reactions to and opinions of the Wulfen. Pretty interesting stuff actually - SW and DA arent driven by hatred for each other - The Daemon incursions are so severe that bombing a planet was one of the last measures available - There are different kinds of Wulfen characters, some are feral, some more human than animal - In Part 8 everything escalates (not his words) He is also writing a Charadon's novel and two top secret projects including a short story. A Stormtrooper/Militarum Tempestus and more Imperial Guard stories is something he would like to work on next as they havent gotten much for a while and he also collects and plays IG. He played a lot of WFB and there will be an AoS book by him some time in the future. The Warzone Fenris ebook series is going to end sometime in August, he doesnt know 100%, but earlier than fall 2016. There are two ebooks left. There was a lot more talk, especially about the SW characters involved. The first part of the WZF ebook series is available for free by the way. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
